- Description
- White ceramic tile with gold design. The design is made up of two flowers attached to a gold curled tendril. At the top, a large flower follows the curled line. the line conitnues out of the centre of the flower and splits into two leafy tendrils. One of the leaves has a thick gold curl coming from it. A ribbon with a flower is tied to this gold curl (nearest to the bottom of the tile), and has six stamens coming from the flower. There is a large brown circular stain and lots of gray stains, the colour of dry wall putty. The tile has a clean diagonal split across the centre right near to where the ribbon attaches to the gold curl. The bottom corner is missing with another clean diagonal split, and small triangular piece missing along the largest split.
